Dion, One of the World’s Top Green Politicians?
June 28, 2007 · By Greg Farries
More proof that the green movement is more about public relations than action:
OTTAWA (CP) - Stephane Dion has been named one of the world’s top green politicians by a Seattle-based, online environmental magazine.
At No. 10, the federal Liberal leader is the only Canadian among Grist magazine’s list of 15 politicians who impact environmental policy.
Dubbed by the magazine as “Canada’s other Dion,” the Liberal leader is cited for proposing tax credits for energy efficiency and his pledge to fight for the goals of the Kyoto treaty on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
The magazine also notes that Dion named his dog “Kyoto.”
Funny, there was no mention of Dion’s actions (inaction is more accurate) on the “climate crisis” during his tenure as a senior cabinet minister in the previous Liberal government(s).
Also, the above Canoe article doesn’t actually mention the name of the “Seattle-based, online environmental magazine” and I can’t seem to find any mention of this anywhere else on the net. Anyone have a link?
http://www.grist.org/ is what I came up with
I can. The entry for Dion is pretty light.

Hopefully Harper will come to his senses and stop pandering to all these green freaks. He’s turning into pansy-a$$ dion.
